Launch of New HAL-Locate GPS Tracking System

1st July 2008, Luton, England

HAL-Locate is a completely new tracking system, unique in being designed to meet the specific needs of caravan and motorhome owners. Featuring extremely low power consumption and mobile phone text based remote control, HAL-Locate features advanced technology but is very effective and exceptionally easy to use.
HAL-Locate utilises satellite positioning (GPS) and mobile phone (GSM) technology to remotely report a vehicles current position and status and will automatically contact a secure operating centre in the event of it being taken without the owner’s consent. The operating centre covers 40 countries including all of Western Europe and will liaise directly with local police, ensuring a priority response and rapid recovery of the stolen vehicle.
Using advanced antenna technology and a supersensitive GPS receiver, HAL-Locate is the most effective vehicle tracking system available. Very easy to use, HAL-Locate can be armed or disarmed via the owner’s mobile phone. In addition, the vehicle location and system operation can be checked at any time, again by using simple mobile phone texts.
HAL-Locate is in the enviable position of being the only system of its type that is accredited by Thatcham in accordance with their latest TQA standard for stolen leisure vehicle tracking systems. Dean Lander, Accreditation Manager for Thatcham adds “a demand has been identified to support the leisure and haulage industry with systems which are specific for non powered vehicles. Unlike vehicles that contain a powertrain, caravans and trailers are often left for an extended period of time so increased battery life, low power and power tampering alerts are extremely important features. The updated Thatcham criterion demands all of these features and many more, ensuring consumers receive the security benefit they require, not forgetting the quality of build which is guaranteed through Thatcham’s robust accreditation processes and includes extensive annual audits of the manufacturing process. The HAL-Locate HAL1000 has proven to be a robust and effective stolen vehicle tracking system specifically designed for use in this sector and is the first to be accredited specifically for use in non powered vehicles compliant with our latest criterion.”
As well as being Thatcham TQA accredited, HAL-Locate also complies with European e-Mark standards.
Leading caravan and motorhome manufacturer Swift Group were so impressed by the product that the company has already decided that HAL-Locate will be fitted as standard on selected new models. Swift’s Product Director, Steve Trossell, commented; “Being designed from the outset to meet the needs of caravans and motorhomes and having accreditation to Thatcham’s latest standard made HAL-Locate the obvious choice for us. As well as enabling an owner to remotely check the charge level of the leisure battery and integral back up battery at any time, HAL-Locate will automatically send a mobile phone text to warn the owner if the leisure battery charge is low. These features together with the re-assurance provided by a secure centre operating right across Europe will be of considerable interest to our customers.”
